Gender and Athletics
-
-
Gender Narratives
common-sense assumptions that more media representation of female athletes will improve/change gendered perceptions of athletics
-
the media and popular culture talks about athletes, particularly those in non sex-appropriate sports
the differences in coverage for athletes of different genders and in sports at different places on the masculinity hierarchy

-
Gendered differences in athletic coverage should matter to others because athletes who are doing the same sport and performing at a similar level should be given the same respect and focus on their athletic skill as differently gendered counterparts
Misc
a lot of the gendered differences in sports are not based on biological realities, but rather socially constructed by people responding (a little bit to biology, but) primarily to social perceptions of gender and ability
